You may need to configure and recompile the kernel or use aptitude to install the server kernel. You installed Ubuntu Server 10.10, right? The desktop kernel isn't configured for 4p servers and the fact that it's stopping at 32 cores is interesting since that means part of a CPU is being used which rules out hardware being the problem (if the BIOS sees it all.) Also consider that 32 is a nice pretty power of 2.

If that doesn't work, use aptitude to download the linux sources, and reconfigure and build the kernel from scratch. Make sure to

Code:

make -j33

so you can compile with all 32 threads so it will be zippy quick if you end up having to compile it.

Before you know it, you'll be running 48 cores.

Personally, I go for the latest LTS release on new servers and I typically use their server installer instead. If I want a GUI, I just add stuff as I need them.

It's Ubuntu 10.10 desktop. Many others with 4P/48 core rigs are running it with no issues. Do your commands above change due to the OS version?
I have the driver CD from Supermicro and need to install it, but cannot figure out HOW to run it? What commands and must everything be done in "terminal"? The onboard video is stuttering and I cannot get the network controller to work...so, no internet to download with....
